Updating the PostgreSQL root.crt file

August 20, 2020/0 Comments/in Andrew's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Andrew Dunstan

Let’s say you have two PostgreSQL servers that connect to each other using postgres_fdw. They communicate over TLS and they use client certificates to authenticate. You have a Certificate Authority you have set up, and it has issued server and client certificates for each server. On server one you have server1.crt, server1.key, client1.crt, client1.key and […]

Running multiple PgBouncer instances with systemd

August 13, 2020/2 Comments/in Eisentraut's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Peter Eisentraut

Since PgBouncer runs as a single process, it is not straightforward to make use of multiple CPUs on a host. When you are running on real hardware, this is wasteful, since single-CPU server machines don’t exist anymore, as far as I can tell. When using virtualization, you could just provision a single CPU per virtual […]

PostgreSQL 13: Don’t let slots kill your primary

July 30, 2020/0 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Alvaro's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL 13 /by Álvaro Herrera

One of the interesting new features in PostgreSQL for some time now is the ability to control removal of WAL files using replication slots. The dark side is that replication slots can cause disks to fill up with old WAL, killing the main production server. In this article I explain PostgreSQL replication slots, and how a new feature in PostgreSQL 13 helps prevent this problem.
